Welcome to the 2009 Game Developers Conference
***********************************************************
GANG Members use this code GDC09GANG and get $100 off an All Access or Main Conference Pass for GDC 2009. (cannot be combined with other discounts)
A new GDC season is upon us, the 23rd to be exact and my 10th.
What milestones have we crossed over the last 23 years? Quite
a few actually. Let me take you back to 1987 when we were
called the Computer Game Developers Conference and we were in
a living room with a few names you might recognize: Don Daglow,
Tim Brengle, Chris Crawford and Gordon Walton, to name a few.
Fast forward through Milpitas, Santa Clara, Long Beach, and
San Jose to our current landing spot: San Francisco.
Over the years, weíve witnessed the games industry mature into
a form of mainstream entertainment through generations of
increasingly accessible platforms and innovations. With maturity
and growth comes opportunity, and GDC 2009 hopes to remind you
of that. With content that speaks directly to the kinds of new
business ideas and development challenges you face, this yearís
GDC promises to inspire us all.
I look forward to seeing you in March as well as updating you
along the way on exciting GDC developments via the Bosslady blog.
Stay tuned for more!
Sincerely,
Meggan Scavio
GDC Event Director
